Bunker Cabaret
Hooligan Art Community
The Russian war of aggression brought the work of the Kiev group Hooligan Art Community to a halt overnight. While the female members were in residency in Germany, their two male counterparts developed scenic material in a Kiev air raid shelter in an attempt to capture, process, interrogate what they had experienced. In August 2022, all members of the group reunited in London to create the performance “Bunker Cabaret” – an immersive theatrical experience combining live music, satire, dance and film. Ironic, raw, humorous and harrowing, this evening reveals the artists’ individual experiences of war and brings the audience up close.
On 29.06. there will be an audience discussion afterwards.
Duration: approx. 1 h. 15 min.

Вистава „Бункер-кабаре“, яка починається в київських бомбосховищах і отримала подальший розвиток у Лондоні, поєднує живу музику, сатиру, танці та кіно. Іронічно, жорстко, гумористично і трагічно цей вечір розкриває індивідуальний досвід артистів у війні та дозволяє глядачам відчути ці події ближче.
29.06. після показу відбудеться глядацьке обговорення.
Тривалість: бл. 1 год. 15 хв.
